That's not how a citation works. The citation has to be sufficient to justify the claim it's used as a source for: for a flat statement the citation must be authoritative (in this case, on language itself as the statement is not qualified in any way), while for an "according to" it only has to prove the information in question exists. "According to" is used when a statement conflicts with expert sources but is in itself noteworthy in some way. In this case, we have a source that is related to DMC (noteworthy), but conflicts with expert sources on language (dictionaries).

Re: the claim that it's "contextual:" no, it's incomplete. It's like saying "boat" means "machine" (rather than "machine that floats on water"), it's confusing "is a type of" for "is."

A good example of this related to DMC would be the name of the castle in the first game: there's an official source for that ("Castle Ardor," from Versus Books' 2001 Official Devil May Cry Perfect Guide, p. 48), but I wouldn't see that source as strong enough to just add the name "Castle Ardor" (which they blatantly took from the names of Missions 3 and 7) to the article on Mallet Island. What it's fine for is saying in trivia that according to that book, the castle is called that.
